application

Definition

Provides static methods and properties to manage an application, such as methods to start and stop an application, to process Windows messages, and methods to get information about an application. This class cannot be inherited.

Remarks

The application class has methods to start and stop applications and threads, and to process Windows messages, as follows: xtd_forms_application_run() starts an application message loop on the current thread and, optionally, makes a form visible. xtd_forms_application_exit() or exit_thread() stops a message loop. xtd_forms_application_do_events() processes messages while your program is in a loop. xtd_forms_application_add_message_filter() adds a message filter to the application message pump to monitor Windows messages.

You cannot create an instance of this class.
